Conceptual Site ModelHealth Canada included the concept of a Conceptual Site Model (CSM) in their Draft Environmental Site Investigation Guidance (July 2008) (Now CCME 2016).
A Conceptual Site Model (CSM) is a visual representation and narrative description of the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring, or that have occurred, at a site. The CSM should be able to tell the story of how the site became contaminated, how the contamination was and is transported, where the contamination will ultimately end up, and whom it may affect. A well-developed CSM provides decision makers with an effective tool that helps to organize, communicate, and interpret existing data, while also identifying areas where additional data are required.
